the dried, unopened flower buds of eugenia caryophyllus (sprengel) bullock et. Harrison (formerly eugenia caryophyllata thunberg).

The principal active ingredient in the volatile oil is eugenol. The quality characteristics are measured by volatile oil, total and acid insoluble ash, moisture, and freedom from clove stems.
